Friends of the Land Collection
Description: Promotional pamphlet from Ohio farmer and popular novelist Louis Bromfield's Malabar Farm (Lucas, Ohio), advertising Malabar Farm's line of jams and jellies. This particular pamphlet is targeted towards businessmen seeking holiday gifts. The mixed gift package of jams and jellies advertised included flavors such as seedless black raspberry preserves, grape jelly, blackberry jelly, "old fashioned cider apple butter," cherry preserves, quince jelly, orange marmalade and crabapple jelly. Boysenberry preserves are advertised as featuring "the newest of the berry family." The Friends of the Land Collection (1930-1960) contains the papers of the Friends of the Land (1940-1959), a prominent national soil conservation education organization headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. FOTL produced an international literary arts quarterly, THE LAND (edited by New Deal agriculture writer Russell Lord) in addition to several members' only publications (LAND LETTER) and informational pamphlets. They also hosted annual conferences; ran conservation tours, teacher training labs, and workshops; and operated as a national clearinghouse for conservation information. Ohio farmer and novelist Louis Bromfield was active in the organization. Much of the collection reflects the career and interests of FOTL Executive Secretary Ollie Fink, who was a prominent conservation education pioneer in Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.
